Being a homicide detective is hard enough without a celebrity partner.

In the trailer for Netflix's Murderville, Senior Detective Terry Seattle (Will Arnett) gets to work solving homicides, each time with a different celebrity partner — who has no script and no context.

In Murderville's premiere season, written and executive produced by Krister Johnson, Arnett is joined by Ken Jeong, Annie Murphy, Kumail Nanjiani, Sharon Stone, Conan O'Brien, and Marshawn Lynch. Each of them is playfully pushed to keep up and keep it together as they crack the case. Haneefah Wood, Lilan Bowden, and Phillip Smithey round out the main cast, with Iain Morris and Brennan Shroff directing the six-episode series.

Murderville premieres on Netflix Feb. 3.
